5.1 The user interface

This Section of the manual covers setup and control of 
the PV1D using its front panel buttons and display. Use 
of the PV1D SubApp™ PC application is described 
in the program’s internal help file. Its instructions may 
also be downloaded from the PV1D support page of 
our web site.

Once the PV1D is positioned in the listening room 
and connected to power and signal cables it can 
be switched on from its on/standby button, which 
carries the Bowers & Wilkins logo. On power up, the 
LED indicator changes from red to blue and the five 
navigation touch buttons appear. The last preset  
used will be recalled and the screen illustrated above 
will be displayed.

Out of the box, the display screen will show that Preset 
1 is selected and that the Volume Trim is set at 0dB.

In the screen shot above, the name 'Movies' has been 
added to Preset 1. You can add a name of up to 10 
(basic ASCII) characters to any or all of the 5 Presets, 
but only using the SubApp™ PC program.

After 30 seconds of non-use, the navigation buttons 
will disappear and the screen will dim to avoid possible 
distraction when watching movies in a darkened room. 
Touching the button pad will restore the full brightness 
and the buttons will become operational once again.

When the PV1D setup is complete and it is returned  
to normal operational mode, the Volume Trim can  
be adjusted and Preset selected as described in 
section 5.1.

In normal operational mode the PV1D front panel 
buttons behave as follows:

 

Accesses first the manual Preset selection  

 

screen and subsequently toggles between that  

 

and the Volume Trim adjustment screen.

 

Accesses first the Volume Trim adjustment  

 

screen and subsequently toggles between that  

 

and the manual Preset selection screen.

 

Increases Volume Trim or selects next Preset on  

 

the appropriate screen.

 

Decreases Volume Trim or selects previous  

 

Preset on the appropriate screen.

 

Press and hold to enter the PV1D setup mode.

The Volume Trim function has a range of +/-6dB and is 
intended to provide occasional on-the-fly adjustment 
and does not affect the volume setting stored within 
any preset. If the PV1D is switched to standby and on 
again, the Volume Trim is reset to 0dB.

5. Switch on and setup

In setup mode, the PV1D front panel user interface is 
based on navigation around hierarchical menus and 
the selection of options. The selected menu item is 
indicated by a coloured outline, which is normally blue.
A red outline indicates that a Preset parameter has 
been adjusted but not saved. The five navigation 
buttons behave as follows: 

 

Selects the next menu item up or increases a  

 

parameter setting. 

 
 

Selects the next menu item down or decreases  

 

a parameter setting.

 

Returns to the previous menu screen without  

 

saving changes.

 

Advances to the next menu screen if the outline  

 

has a signpost shape, indicating a subsequent  

 

menu screen. The current setting of the   

 

parameter is also shown within the outline.

 

Returns to the previous menu screen after  

 

saving any changes. Pressing and holding the  

 

button at any time will enter or exit the PV1D  

 

Setup Mode.

Whenever the   or   buttons are used to 

increase or decrease a parameter, such as 

volume level or frequency, holding the button 

down will cause the parameter to ramp.
